Huh!

Everyone's eyes seemed to be blinded by the light.

All of them were white silver dollars!

A rough calculation showed that there were at least half a million silver dollars!

You have to know that most of the people present were just poor people from rural villages. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep when they saw the 100,000 silver dollars awarded by the government. Now, seeing these fifty full boxes, how many people can remain calm? These are all food, medicine, and supplies!

Even Lu Zhixian couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Brother Lu!"

Du Dehan had expected everyone's reaction. He smiled and said, "Here is exactly half a million silver dollars. It is a special reward awarded by the government to commend the Tiger Guards for their victory in Heyuan County!"

"Are they all for us?"

"Yes!"

Du Dehan nodded, and then looked at the adjutant.

The latter quickly took out a gift list.

He smiled and handed it over again, saying: "In addition to this batch of reward silver, the government has also specially prepared a lot of supplies, and I have brought them along this time!"

Lu Zhixian immediately stretched out his hands and took it respectfully.

He glanced at it quickly.

His breathing became rapid, and he saw that the gift list was densely filled with various supplies, including 1,000 boxes of canned beef, 500 boxes of imported biscuits, 100 boxes of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, 100 boxes of white sugar, 80 boxes of Fenjiu, 50 boxes of Hardman, 20 boxes of various medical drugs... A total of more than 100 items, and the quantity of each item was extremely considerable.

"So many?"

Lu Zhixian's eyes lit up.

Du Dehan smiled and said, "These are just to express the government's gratitude for your group's contribution!"

Lu Zhixian was naturally not polite and hurriedly said respectfully: "Then I, Lu Zhixian, on behalf of all the soldiers of the Tiger Guards, thank the government for the reward!"

"Alas--"

Du Dehan sighed and said helplessly: "In fact, according to the contributions made by the Tiger Guards, even if the gifts are multiplied, it is completely deserved. But the current situation is difficult, the government is also in a difficult situation, and many materials are not easy to transport in. Even these gifts are sent here by the military with great effort. I hope Brother Lu and the heroes of your group will not think it is too little!"

"No! No!"

Lu Zhixian waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously: "Since my Tiger Guards are the anti-Japanese forces under the leadership of the National Government, we should share the joys and sorrows with the National Government, and there is absolutely no objection!"

Haha.

Who are you fooling with this?

If I hadn't seen you quarreling with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army over that batch of supplies a few days ago!

I really thought you were a little sheep!

Du Dehan laughed in his heart, and then said: "Brother Lu, you are fighting behind enemy lines and have such awareness, the government will naturally not treat you unfairly!"

Lu Zhixian hurriedly pretended: "The Tiger Guards are determined to kill the enemy and serve the country, and will never covet any rewards or treatment!"

Is the captain acting a little too much?

We quarreled with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army over supplies a while ago?

Many backbones present were secretly complaining.

"Well said!"

However, Du Dehan didn't care at this time, and said with a smile: "If all my Chinese armed forces can be like yours, determined to kill the enemy and serve the country, and never covet any rewards, then why worry about the Japanese not being destroyed? Of course, what Brother Lu said is not completely accurate."

"I hope Brother Du can give me some advice."

"In my opinion, it's time to move this organization."

"Hmm?"

Lu Zhixian's expression moved slightly.

"Lu Zhixian!"

"Here!"

"All the soldiers of the Tiger Guards listen to my orders!"

"Here!"

All the backbones present quickly saluted.

Everyone saw Du Dehan return the salute first, and then took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket. He glanced at all the backbone members of the Tiger Guards present and said loudly:

"Now I, Jin, on behalf of the National Army General Staff, announce to you!"

"Since the establishment of the Tiger Guards, all the soldiers have performed their duties conscientiously, killed the enemy and served the country. A few days ago, they severely damaged the mopping-up coalition led by the 33rd Division of the Japanese outside Heyuan County, and achieved a major victory of annihilating 25,000 enemies! This victory greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the whole country for the war of resistance, and also severely hit the morale of the enemy. It is indeed the final victory of the national war of resistance. "We have made great contributions to the victory, so we specially promote the Jin Province Tiger Guard Regiment to the Tiger Guard Independent Division!"

"In order to commend the soldiers at all levels for their bravery in killing the enemy, we now promote Lu Zhixian to the rank of Major General Division Commander and award him the First Class Yunhui Medal; Zhou Weiguo to the Major General Deputy Division Commander and award him the Third Class Yunhui Medal; Chen Feng to the Major General Chief of Staff and award him the Fourth Class Yunhui Medal; the commanders of all battalions are Colonel Regiment Commanders and are awarded the Sixth Class Yunhui Medal; the rest of the outstanding military meritorious service personnel are awarded various Loyalty and Bravery Medals."

"..."

The whole audience was excited when these words came out.

Tiger Guard Independent Division!

No one expectedTheir Tiger Guards were actually directly upgraded to an independent division!

You should know that such troops fighting behind enemy lines often have difficulty in getting the opportunity to expand, not only because the central government cannot effectively command, but also because the input of various materials is relatively difficult. Even if they are expanded, they cannot ensure effective combat effectiveness, so it is usually good to be able to maintain it.

But no one expected that they were directly upgraded from regiment level to division level units in just over two months!

This promotion speed is simply unparalleled!

As for those military ranks and medals, they are not so important.

In fact.

At this time, even Lu Zhixian was particularly surprised.

Long before Du Dehan arrived, he guessed that the government would definitely make some statement.

According to the original expectation.

Judging from the establishment time of the Tiger Guards, it should be almost enough to expand to a combat brigade. After all, on the one hand, they were not established for a long time, and on the other hand, the government could not effectively control them.

But I didn’t expect that the government would be so generous this time and directly expand to an independent division!

"Brother Lu!"

Du Dehan handed over the letter of appointment and the award order, and then said with emotion and even envy: "I didn't expect that in less than three months, you and I are already at the same level!"

Yes.

I am extremely envious.

As an old man who has been in the military for more than 20 years.

Graduating from Baoding Military Academy, he has worked hard all the way. In terms of academic qualifications and talents, to be honest, he is not much worse than others. However, at the age of 40, he has only become a major general with no real power in the General Staff, and it is even more hopeless to move up a step. But what about this young man in front of him? He is only in his early twenties, but now he is already a world-famous hero of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and he is also a major general division commander leading troops outside!

This promotion speed!

This local power!

This prestige and love among the military and civilian compatriots across the country!

No matter from which aspect, he and I are already as different as heaven and earth!

"Brother Du!"

Lu Zhixian said with a face full of surprise but a little fear: "Please don't say that. I am able to be favored by the military today entirely because of Brother Du's help in recruiting me. If it weren't for Brother Du's help, all my brothers in the regiment, no, the entire division would still be gangsters. How could we have the glory today?!"
